Please explain how one has a “rational dialog” with evil?

Please tell me what has been accomplished since 1973 by “rational dialog” with baby killers?

A lot more has been accomplished by the quiet, strong people who realize they have the ability to accomplish what needs to get done within their sphere of influence. I believe this evil has been limited greatly by those who do the Lord’s work daily where they are — not by those who go off the deep end and drive an SUV through the window of an abortion clinic.

If any one of you believes he is up to the task of going one-on-one with the devil, then allow me to suggest there’s only one way. His name is Jesus (and don’t hit me with the crap that the drove the money changers out of the temple).

If you stop to think about it, he didn’t try to drive Rome out of Jerusalem. He realized he only had authority over one area — the temple. What is the temple? If you don’t know that by now, you’re not even trying to get it.

“Please explain how one has a “rational dialog” with evil?”

In direct answer to your question. “You” don’t. “He” does. Not even the Archangel of God, Michael is engaged in “dialog” with evil. He simply replied when challenged, “I will let the Lord deal with you.” No dialog. That’s the first mistake.

In the words of St. Francis, “Preach the gospel every day and, if necessary, use words.” You take on any more than that and you are out of your league.

Your dialog is with the people you encounter — your sisters, your mothers, your brothers, your nieces and nephews. It's with your church youth group, it's with each person you encounter. If you are asked for help, you GIVE IT. You stand and deliver to protect the weak and defenseless. You make sure you reaffirm the right choices and reward and uplift and make motherhood the celebration it should be and adoption and protection of life the star of the show. You explain to your children that you will be there for them (yes, like Sarah Palan) even when there is no one else that is giving them kudos.

You teach them that procreation is the result of sexual intercourse and if you're not in a position to deal with the results of your night of passion (I'm gagging here), you had best keep your legs together, your pants on and zipped up; otherwise, it may not be just about “you” anymore, and it isn't just “your decision” anymore. It became impersonal the moment you decided to cast your fate to the winds and go with the moment.

That's the dialog I'm talking about. I won't even “think” about dialoging with Dr. Tiller or others similarly inclined. Let the Lord deal with them.
